Text-comparison software From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computer-assisted reviewing (CAR) tools are pieces of software based on text-comparison and analysis algorithms.[1] These tools focus on the differences between two documents, taking into account each document's typeface through an intelligent analysis.

The intelligent analysis used by CAR tools detect the differences do not have the same value depending on their type and/or the document field/subject. For example, a difference on a number is not the same if this number is a date, a price, a page number, a figure number, a part of an address, a footnote call, a list item number, a title number, etc.
These tools are interesting in various kind of applications:
Computer assisted reviewing for translation (CART) tools are CAR tools being able to manage multi-lingual comparisons. This implies to be able to match each part of text from one document to the other, taking into account the specificity of each language: date/number formats, punctuation (for example, French/English quotation marks), etc. The best CART tools are able to find matches between noun or verbal groups, this implying to find terminological and syntactical elements using linguistic analyzers.
